Screen Mode 7 (0dh) documentation question
Is anyone familiar with some decent documentation on video memory in screen mode 7 (also referred to as mode 0dh)? Especially on anything about accessing the 4 bit-planes. Most of what I've found online focuses on assembler code and doesn't go very deep at that.

I would like to try but im guessing i would have to use some kind editor and understand hex etc.... Nah, no hex editing necessary. The code I posted earlier allows you to read contents of a text file and write text to a file, so all you need to do is learn what to do with the text that's read in. T...

You could also edit your code in a text editor like SciTE http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTEDownload.html and then switch to run the QBasic ide when you want to test and debug your code. Then you'll be able to see a lot more of your code and (at least if you're running XP) you won't have to worr...

How about resources? Like sound files and images? If your code can use gifs, jpgs, bmps, wavs, mp3s, or whatever, what do you think about using professional tools to create the images and sound to use in your QB code? Or, what if, like me, you're not an artist, what do you think about just ripping g...

Cool. This sounds like a fun project. First step will probably be to decide on a list of simplified commands for your new language. Like CLEARSCREEN, DRAW SQUARE, MOVE, etc. Then work out how that simplified code would look in QBasic. The second step could be to work on the engine that reads in the ...

Along the same lines of the topic question, what do you think about using libraries like directqb which are written by someone else and often call code written in a different language? While it's not the easiest thing in the world to implement (the manual for directqb is 150 pages), it still feels l...

Defining Code Purity
This topic is intended to discuss everyone's feelings about the use of tutorials, libraries, and example code when programming. I personally don't like using libraries at all, but I'll read over the code until I understand it and then implement what I like in my own way. Tutorials with coded example...

Pete's List of Challenges http://www.petesqbsite.com/sections/cha ... nges.shtml is a good place to start for program ideas when learning QBasic.
As far as the errors, many are probably due to needing particular library files, but what version of QBasic are you running?
